The Dying Walk	comment	A character who is mortally injured simply walks away from whatever it was that they were doing before. Reasons for this vary, the most common ones are that the wounded person is in a haze of shock from the wound, that the person is hallucinating or having a genuine supernatural vision and are trying to reach it, are so determined to reach some sort of goal or object that they make one final attempt before they die, or simply want to go somewhere that they can die more peacefully. This trope can become quite symbolic of walking away from a conflict or the mundane complications of life when faced with death staring them in the eyes, or a character walking away from one's life/past deeds, especially if the character regrets or would want to atone for those things. This can be Truth in Television: many animals, at least if they're still able to walk, will go off to find a quiet place to die when they know their time is near.note This is most likely because an animal's natural reaction is to flee from pain, but as the pain of death cannot be escaped, the animal retreats to the most private place it can reach. Naturally this can apply to humans as well. Often occurs beside One Last Smoke. Likely to happen in the aftermath of a Gun Struggle. May overlap with tropes such as Secret Stab Wound or Mortal Wound Reveal if no one realized the character was so seriously injured, and Distracted from Death if no one notices their death until after they've died. If the walk is a particularly long one or the character manages to give a message to someone at the end of it, then it overlaps with Almost Dead Guy. Compare and contrast Face Death with Dignity, Disappears into Light, No Body Left Behind, The Last Dance, You Are Already Dead, and all versions of Time-Delayed Death. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. Examples

The blade returns, lodging in the middle of Clapet's forehead. Clapet staggers for some moments before asking those in the room if there's something there. No one says anything, but they bring Clapet some wine, which he drinks, then slumps over dead.

In a bad ending, Makoto ends up committing to Kotonoha, but in the process abandons Sekai, who goes missing for six months and then resurfaces to stab Makoto to death. Even while badly wounded, Makoto expresses relief that Sekai is okay and then notices that she's pregnant with his child and is grateful that she plans to take care of it. Sekai runs off, and Makoto is left to wander down the beach rambling about Kotonoha and Sekai until he finally bleeds out.

As it dies, the Advanced Ancient Acropolis starts to collapse. You get up and walk out of the Boss Room, but the Drifter is clearly not going to get far. You are heavily wounded and leave a shocking Trail of Blood. You cannot heal, dash, or attack, and trying will only make you cough and stagger weakly. In what is implicitly a Dying Dream, the Drifter wanders to a familiar statue, sits beneath it, succumbs to his wounds, and is buried beneath the falling rubble. The Hero Dies, but he seems to accept it, dreaming of a world free from The Corruption.

Shepard climbs into the silent expanse of the Citadel, armor torn to shreds and pain visible in every step. They can't run, roll, or take cover, and their only attack is a halfhearted shot from a pistol. In all endings save one, Shepherd finishes their business with the Illusive Man, has a short conversation with The Catalyst, and then dies.

After being shot several times in the fight, Baker (who had earlier told about how he was going to sail away on a boat he was building once he retired) walks away from the fight and staggers over to a tiny creek, where he watches the sunset until he dies. Easily the most famous scene from the movie, helped by the fact that Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" (which was composed for the movie) plays in the background.

The Dying Walk / int_af7550d7	comment	Warrior Cats: The New Prophecy: In the book Sunset, Brambleclaw stabs his half-brother Hawkfrost in the throat with a stake from a trap. Hawkfrost, despite struggling to breathe and speak, gets up, stumbles toward Brambleclaw to call him a fool, and then, for some reason, turns around and walks toward the lake, collapsing at its shore. His blood mingles with the water to complete the prophecy "Blood will spill blood and the lake will run red".

The Dying Walk / int_c2463c55	comment	Final Fantasy X: Auron, who's been Dead All Along, tells about doing this when he died. In a grief-fueled rage, he confronted Yunalesca about the Senseless Sacrifice of Jecht and Braska, and how them giving their lives wouldn't make a damn bit of difference. She mortally wounded him, and somehow he climbed back out of Zanarkand and all the way down Mt. Gagazet in a desperate attempt to return to Bevelle and take care of Braska's daughter Yuna, as he had promised Braska he would. After climbing down the mountain the last of his strength finally gave out, but he was able to send Kimahri, who he encountered along the way, to look after Yuna. Auron does a version of this again (but for good this time) at the very end of the game. As Yuna begins Sending Sin, Auron, being an Unsent himself, begins breaking down and his body coming apart. Yuna pauses the Sending ceremony, but Auron tells her to keep going. He takes a moment to say his goodbyes to the party, then walks away as his body essentially comes apart at the seams.

The Queen stares at the wound for a bit, then turns around and walks away, falling to her knees after (at most) half a dozen steps.

The Dying Walk / int_cdedd56a	comment	Exo Squad: After the liberation of Venus, some members of La RÃ©sistance turn villainous and plan to kill any and all Neosapiens they come across, including Marsala and any other Neos serving in Exo Fleet. Marsala's squadmate Nara recruits her brother James, the former head of the Venus Resistance, to save Marsala from his captors. James infiltrates the group and is wounded just as a three-way battle between the anti-Neo group, Neo guerrillas, and Able Squad breaks out. James manages to carry an unconscious Marsala out of there and is so focused on getting Marsala to safety that he completely ignores the battle and Nara telling him he can stop. Finally, he collapses and dies away from the battle site.

The Dying Walk / int_dfabfce5	comment	Red Dead Redemption 2: After John Marston fatally shoots him in the chest, Micah's only response is to shrug, then walk a few steps away before falling over dead in the snow. Also happens at the end of Chapter 6, though more like a Dying Crawl: If the player chooses to go with John, Arthur, already in the final stages of tuberculosis, is critically wounded by Micah and lies dying while convincing Dutch that Micah is the rat. If Arthur's honor is high, then after Micah leaves him to die alone at the summit of Grizzlies East, Arthur gives off a smile, content that his efforts to get John to safety are all Worth It; he gets up and crawls over to the edge of a cliff, where he relaxes and gets to watch his one last sunrise before succumbing to TB in a Big Sleep.

In a confused haze, he suddenly breaks off from fighting Kiba and attempting to kill Cheza, and steps into the portal to Paradise, despite knowing that he cannot open it. It kills him instantly, leaving nothing but his Magic Eye behind. Kiba also does this, after Cheza's apparent death, having crossed the Despair Event Horizon with her and the rest of his True Companions gone. He limps away from the site of their battle and then collapses, apparently the very last living thing in the world to die.

Ferreiro opts to give the fighter a Mercy Kill via lethal overdose instead. Vidal outs him as The Mole at this point by comparing a vial in Ferreiro's bag to an identical vial from a rebel medical supply cache, and knowing that Vidal is going to kill him, Ferreiro gives the fascist thug a final "The Reason You Suck" Speech and then calmly takes his bag and walks outside into the rain... and gets shot in the back by Vidal. Ferreiro manages to take a few more steps away from Vidal and the torture shack before he drops to the ground.

The Dying Walk / int_f0c816fb	comment	Breaking Bad loves this trope. Gus gets half his body blown to hell by an improvised bomb, but still manages to walk out of the room he's in and calmly straightens his tie before dying. In fact, when you first see him walk out of the room, he looks completely fine, as if he had managed to somehow protect himself from the blast just in time. Then the camera pans around him to show the other half of his body, which is very much not fine, and he flops over. Mike does this after being shot by Walter in the aftermath of Mike's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Walter. Mike manages to get away from the area where he was shot, but all he does is find his way to a nice place to sit near a small river. Walter catches up with him and tries to apologize for overreacting and shooting him, but Mike just calmly tells him to go away so he can die in peace. In the series finale, Walter does something similar, as he is mortally wounded in his final confrontation with the Neo-Nazis. After all the Nazis are dead and Jesse leaves, refusing to perform a Coup de GrÃ¢ce on Walter, Walter limps off to the Nazi meth lab and begins fondly petting the equipment there before collapsing.
